TopBrewer is now available on NBS Source and NBS Chorus

The NBS has developed the National Building Specification for the last 40 years and NBS Source & NBS Chorus bring the specification process into the 21st Century. NBS Source & NBS Chorus were designed for architects, engineers, designers and contractors, bringing together NBS BIM Library, NBS Plus and Product Selector to provide a single, reliable source for product information, as well as connecting directly with design tools including Autodesk Revit, Archicad and Vectorworks. 

The NBS platforms allow users to work collaboratively to develop specifications together, and the fact that they are cloud-based mean that designs are always kept in sync and up to date. The NBS has all the information you need about a product, from images and testimonials to data sheets and BIM objects, no matter what stage of a project you are at.

We’re thrilled that the most popular configurations of the TopBrewer Professional Series and TopBrewer Compact Series are now available as BIM objects to add to your digital designs. The beautifully designed TopBrewer commercial coffee machine has long been a favourite of designers and architects, and the Scanomat UK & Ireland team has worked closely with the NBS team to enable a frictionless specification process, giving NBS users easy access to clear product and technical data in the formats they need.

Many of our clients use the NBS tools as part of their specification process so our partnership will help save time and make the process of specifying TopBrewer as easy as possible. The data available on the NBS platforms will allow you to specify TopBrewer and add it to your digital design projects with just a few clicks, importing the enhanced product data and BIM objects directly from NBS Source into your specification document via NBS Chorus.

Unlike many other commercial coffee machines, TopBrewer's innovative under-counter design and minimal space usage allow it to fit unobtrusively into any beautifully designed environment, and its inclusion on the NBS platforms will streamline the specification process.

•BIM is considered the heart of the digitalisation for the construction industry.

•BIM objects are digital product information.

•It is a 3D format with associated technical data, compatible with design software, e.g. Revit.

•A BIM object is a combination of object geometry and product information.

•Visualisation data gives the object a recognisable appearance. Behavioural data, such as detection zones, allows the object to be positioned or to behave in exactly the same way as the product itself.

•BIM models should be simplified so as not to burden designers' models.
